Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 124 ”You rock.”
初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第124弾は、”You rock.” です。
同僚や後輩に仕事をお願いし、完璧にやってもらえたら
思わず「君は最高だね！」と相手を褒めたくなりますよね。
今回は、そんな時に使える表現をご紹介します。
タロウは同僚のヒカに、とあるレポートの作成を依頼しました。
１週間後まででＯＫと伝えていたのですが、
仕事が速いヒカは、なんと翌日に仕上げて来てくれました。
“Here’s the report you requested.”
「はい、頼まれていたレポートだよ。」 ヒカはタロウに言いました。
「君は最高だね！」と言いたい場合、あたながタロウなら何と言いますか？
“You are excellent.”
これでも伝わりますが、ちょっと不自然です。
そこで、
“Wow, you rock!”
と言ってみましょう！カジュアルで自然な表現です。
発音もビデオでチェック！
ぜひこの表現を使ってみてください。
Hello and welcome to this Bizmates for
beginners video series
and today I have a nice phrase.
You rock.
It's a little slang, but we use this
in our office sometimes.
You rock.
It has a good meaning.
OK, let's look at our test first.
So you have an appointment
with a VIP client and I say :
Oh no, the train is late.
and you say...
That's right.
Just my luck.
OK? Bad luck.
OK, let's go on to today's phrase
You rock.
OK here's what I sometimes hear
So let's imagine, Taro, my colleague,
he asked me
he requested some kind of report.
OK, a report. And I say, okay I'm a very fast worker,
so I say:
Here's the report you requested.
OK, he wanted it one week later,
but I gave it to him after 1 day.
Here's the report you requested.
Very fast. And Taro wants to say
Hika, thank you. You are the best.
And he says:
You are excellent.
It's OK, but it's kind of strange
we usually don't say
you are excellent
maybe THIS is excellent.
Something is excellent, but we don't
usually say someone is excellent.
Well, it's not so common.
Maybe "you are an excellent worker"
is maybe OK, but
you are excellent
sounds a little strange.
OK, so what can Taro say? He can say this...
Here's the report you requested.
Finished already.
And Taro says:
Wow, you rock!
It means you are great.
You are awesome.
You are the best.
You rock.
OK? It's a little casual.
Don't say this to your boss, OK?
Well if you have a good relationship
with your boss
maybe it's OK,
You rock!
but it's a very casual expression.
You rock.
Simple. You rock!
you try...
Good! OK, with my sentence:
Here's the report you requested. Finished.
(You rock.)
Thank you.
Like this.
OK, so for homework I would say:
Here's the report you requested.
And you say...
You rock.
Please remember this and we will see
you next time. Thank you.
